Theatre in Koszalin: an amphitheatre for 4,206 people, the Adria Music Theatre in a former cinema and the Dialog Theatre in the Hangman's House.
Koszalin has three places of differing scale: a big amphitheatre under a rainbow roof, a younger music theatre and an intimate rhapsodic stage in an old townhouse. Each carries the tags for couples and for rain. The rest of the city is described in Koszalin: what to see, and further stages across the region are listed under theatres in West Pomerania.
Which theatre in Koszalin should you pick?
It depends on the occasion: the amphitheatre for big open-air events, Adria for musical shows and Dialog for an intimate evening.
In the Amphitheatre Park stands the Ignacy Jan Paderewski Amphitheatre, opened in 1973; its auditorium holds 4,206 people and its roof resembles a rainbow. The stage hosts choir, cabaret and music festivals. Since 2020 the Adria Music Theatre has played in the former cinema of that name at Grunwaldzka 8-10, in a hall for about 300 spectators. The Proposals Theatre Dialog, a rhapsodic one, has existed since 1959 and since 1964 has occupied the historic Hangman's House townhouse at Grodzka 3.
The surroundings of the Dialog stage are explored in the article Koszalin: cathedral, town hall, Old Town Square and museums of a town chartered in 1266.
